Recommendation for marching, war classical music.


Hello,
I love to listen to fast, glory marching classical music.
I only love to listen but have no knowledge of who? what? CD or LP to look for. I know there is plenty of Russian marching music during the war. French?
Please give me some titles to look for.

Thank you very much.

Frederick Fennel has spent his entire life in this genre of music and has done an exemplary job of recording and preserving this music. I would get the Schwanns Catalog and see what is available. You can also look him up on the web.
I echo Aceto - Get some War Pipes, ala the Marching tunes in Braveheart - that should get your blood up. Ever wonder why bagpipers always march? To get away from the music.
Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops made a few March albums on RCA back in the late 50's and early 60's. Fiedler was noted for both his love of Marches and Waltz music, yin and yang. You'll find Sousa, Wagner, Verdi and all the great march pieces on his albums. I enjoy this music immensely as well, reminds me of my youth playing in a marching band in parades. What is more exilerating than experiencing a great marching band playing a Sousa march?

Don't forget J.P. Sousa's "Liberty Bell March," which is the theme song for Monty Python's Flying Circus! The first few notes always produce a very silly grin on one's visage!
